Backup Oracle 9 with CommVault Galaxy & RMAN

We have recently upgraded our database from 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.4 and also installed a new backup system CommVault Galaxy. We have installed the filesystem and oracle agents, and CommVault talks happily to our Oracle instance (able to view tablespaces etc). But it will not backup because it says:
"m_rmanProcess->Failed(). Please, check RMAN log file for details"
Do we have to configure RMAN or will CommVault sort itself out? How do we get them talking so we can actually backup?
Excuse my ignorance as I am only recently having to look after Oracle and I am not a DBA!! Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me! Thanks in advance!

Do we have to configure RMAN or will CommVault sort itself out?It is the question you have to ask the vendor or documentation related to CommVault.
W.r.to oracle, RMAN needs to be manually configured.
So i assume , your backup tool is using some API to talk to oracle and is looking for RMAN.
Please look into CommVault docs.

How to backup Oracle Database Single Instance using RMAN

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database Server 11gR1 with Operating System Oracle Linux 5.10.
I understand how to backup database instance in SQL Server with Windows. But don't really understand how to backup database instance in Oracle with Linux.
I have done Cold backup and Hot backup for the database instance HRCS90 but both get the same error message.
Cold backup is below:

While the database instance HRCS90 is startup, I do hot backup using the same commands and get the same error message with above cold backup.
My question is:
Can any folk tell me the specific steps (command by command) to backup a single database instance in Oracle using RMAN ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. My database instance named HRCS90 is going to be backed up. My backup directory is /backup_Database_Instance_HRCS90.
If database in open state, we must back up in archive log. If database in mount state but not open, we can back up in noarchive log.
I have tried to back up HRCS90 in archive and noarchive log when database in mount state but not open as below:
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>exit

Rman with commvault mml: database crash while delete obsolete

Hello!
I have a problem concerning RMAN, delete obsolete and CommVault media management library: Every night at 23:00 we run a RMAN "Backup" to delete the obsolete backup files from tape. Since the update to CommVault agent 8 (from version 7) the database crashes while the delete obsolete command. The normal backup (incremental 0/1) works without problem.
After restarting the database i tried the delete obsolete via shell -> same result: CRASH.
The CommVault support says that there is an Oracle bug with different MML's, that causes this behaviour - but i can't find anything at Metalink.
This is the output of RMAN (tell me which other logs can be helpful):
RMAN-Sperr-Policy wird f³r den Befehl angewendet

Hi,
show parameter plsq

plsql_compiler_flags          string     INTERPRETED, NON_DEBUG
That database is in interpreted mode.
Check also the pacakages:
select OWNER, OBJECT_NAME , PARAM_NAME ||'='||PARAM_VALUE param from DBA_STORED_SETTINGS where OBJECT_NAME in ( 'DBMS_RCVCAT','DBMS_RCVMAN' )and param_name = 'plsql_code_type'

SYS               DBMS_RCVMAN plsql_code_type=INTERPRETED
If it is native you have an issue!

Hot Backups - Oracle 9i, 10g and 11g

Are all hot backups run outside of RMAN as an OS file copy? If so, isn't this a very risky exercise.
I understand that RMAN will check for corruption where as hot backups won't. RMAN can also track backups in a recovery catalog.
If using a hot backup, it seems like corrupt data could be backed up with the good data.
What exactly are the advantages of using a hot backup. It is understood that the databases can be up during a hot backup, but can't they also be up with an incremental RMAN backup?

I think you need to read the documentation again. Check on tahiti.oracle.com
A cold backup is when the database is shutdown (can be done by file copy or rman)
A hot backup is when the database is running (can be done by file copy or rman)
RMAN has the advantages of backing up at block level, and going directly to tape, and compression, and incremental backup, and block checking, and backup from ASM, and catalog ......
File copy has the advantage of being logically simple (e.g you can see exactly what is happening when you copy a file).

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

System refresh with Commvault

Hallo,
we want to perform a SAP refresh, e.g. restore instance ABC from host1 to instance DEF on host2.
The backup was taken using Commvault software and the backint interface.
Looking at the Commvault documentation there seems to be a procedure in place for performing the above with Oracle only (not using backint).
However, the documentation does not mention anything for SAP (backint). All what's covered is the restore to the same SID on different hosts.
For other backup tools (eg. Networker, Dataprotector) I only had to execute the following command to restore:
brrestore -d util_file -b behhulnv.anf -m all -c force -u /
However, with Commvault this commands throws the following error:
Success in getting Job id=837 Token=<837:2:1>
Success in init with JM
getJobListByInstanceId=34 retCode=1
Cannot get the list of Jobs
Cannot figure out the job type legacy or Snap?
Any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
Very sorry to bother you again, but I am having problems with the refresh.
I have created the initPIQ.utl file which has:
numstreams
4
CvInstanceName
Instance001
CvClientName
sap-q-pi01-l
srcCrossClient
sap-p-pi01-l
srccrossdbname
PIP
So basically my test system is PIQ and the Production is PIP
I have the line :
util_par_file = /oracle/PIQ/11203/dbs/initPIQ.utl in the initPIQ.sap file
I then try to restore in commvault by right clicking the production client:
But I am getting the error in the log:
3498 4beb8720 01/29 10:42:26 460603 ::ExecuteBrRestore() - getInstanceId for InstanceName=[PIP] destClientId=[288] AppType=61 Failed
3498 4beb8720 01/29 10:42:26 460603 ::ExecuteBrRestore() - Instance=[PIP] - May not have been configured.
Is there anything on the commvault that I may have overlooked??
Thanks again
Andy

How to backup oracle RAC filesystem

Hello,
May anyone in this community might help to answer on my inquiry on how to backup oracle RAC filesystem. There are many backup features available out there i.e: RMAN, hotbackup etc but the way the backup is working is RMAN will backup and stored the db file in the filesystem. I presume the filesystem also need to be backed up in order to avoid the filesystem corrupted etc
Regards

Hi,
Always welcome ..
when you want to take backup of all the database components of RAC, that's why i advised you to include the all commands in your backup strategy, so that in any case your any components doesn't work , you can restore the particular one .
One thing you can do , you are running your RAC environment on Vsphere , in that case , create a backup plan with the client and your IT team to take backup of whole environment by creating snapshot of Vsphere along with backup plan mentioned by me in above reply , so in worst scenario your whole environment can be restored .
I have seen that if RAC environment is running on VMware , then its best to take snapshot of whole machine which should be defined in backup policy apart from normal backup of database.
Thanks

Oracle Clustre, Oracle Cluster with RAC and Oracle 10g

Is there a difference between Oracle Cluster and Oracle Cluster with RAC? Please explain. Do existing database codes run unmodified in Cluster or Cluster with RAC environment? What needs to be modified to make existing SQL codes RAC-aware. How to achieve 'all automatic' in case of failure and resubmission of Queries from failed instance to a running instance?
In 10g environment, do we need to consider licensing of RAC as a separate product? What are additional features one derives in 10g that is not in Cluster +RAC?
Your comments and pointers to comparison study and pictorial clarification will be very helpful.

Oracle cluster like failsafe before or Veritas Cluster or other vendor's cluster is meant for HA (high availability) purpose. Which 2 nodes or more can see a shared disk with 1 active node. Whenever this active node failed through heartbeat other machine will know and will take the database over from there.
Oracle RAC is more for HA and load balance. In Oracle RAC 2 or more nodes are accessing the database at the same time so it spread load across all these nodes.
I believe Oracle 10g RAC still need seperate license for it. But you need to call Oracle or check the production document to verify it.
Oracle 10g besides improvement in RAC. It's main improvement is on the build in management of the database itself. It can monitored and selftune itself to much furthur level then before and give DBA much more information to determine the cause of the problem as well. Plus improvement on lots of utility as well like RMAN , data pump etc... I don't want to get into too much detail on this you can check on their 10g new features for more detail view.
Hope this help. :)

Apply Patches on Oracle Database with Logical Standby Database

Here I am:
I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply
2)Apply patches on logical standby database
3)let the name server point to the backup site
4)Apply patches on the primary database
5)Start SQL apply
6)Let the name server point back to the production site
Thanks in advance.

Change the SYS & SYSTEM Oracle passwords with BRTOOLS, any concerns ?

Hello, I would like to change both the SYS and SYSTEM Oracle passwords with BRTOOLS :
(1) Can I use BRTOOLS to change them, or, I have to change them through SQLPlus ?
(2) Any concerns, will this password change affect my SAP normal operations ?
(3) Do I need to re-start the whole SAP UNIX system when I complete the password changing ?
(4) Or changing these 2 passwords is totally an Oracle RDBMS issue, it will not have any effect on SAP ?

But I failed. I was going to change the password of SYSTEM, but why SAP asked me to enter the password of SAPDEV ?
Why ? OK, then I entered the SAPDEV password (it is the same as SYSTEM's old password).
Then, I called SQLPlus and entered login name : SYSTEM, but why its correct password was still the old one, the new one failed. Why ?
I just wanted to change the password of SYSTEM, why it was related to SAPDEV ?

Backup Oracle Database On 24x7 System

Dear Kamran
First sorry my English.
I am a beginner of oracle 10g and have a problem please help (Consult) me. If you are accept it
My problem is a :
Two oracle server with RAC (Clustering) and one external oracle server (BACKUP ORACLE SERVER) on the this network without RAC (Clustering) on the RHEL 4.7
How to synchronize third oracle server’s database with RAC oracle servers. Becouse of if RAC Oracle servers down or technical corruption change corrupted server.
Or other flexible solution tell me (how to do it)

you can make the third oracle server as a physical standby database to RAC setup. for more information, read oracle doc "Dataguard basics and administration" from http://tahiti.oracle.com
as other option, you can schedule a refresh job from RAC setup to third database server.
